FAIR LAWN, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — There is still a huge funding gap for infrastructure nationally and locally – and commuters in New Jersey have a share of complaints in particular.

As CBS2’s Meg Baker reported, many agree that the Garden State’s roads, bridges and transit system are in bad shape.

“It’s been long overdue that we need some repairs. The roads are just horrible,” said John Glita of Fair Lawn.

That is why many people were not surprised to hear that New Jersey gets a D-plus for infrastructure. The nearly failing grade is based on the 2017 American Society of Civil Engineers’ National Report Card.
